  1. I have two c-section scars and I am proud as hell of them. I have them because I have brought two amazing people into this world. Two amazing people that wouldn't be here unless they were extracted out of me. Totally worth it. My husband loves my scars, too. And if people are turned off by m scars then fuck 'em. Or litterally, not. Not worth my time.
  2. Thank you all for your input. It has given us something to think about for sure. Putting our kids at risk for anything is for sure not something we want to do. Yes - the county we live in has ONE adult bookstore. They said no to a Hooters and there are no strip joints or really any dance clubs that I can think of (pool halls/bars, yes, clubs, no). Again, thank you for your input. If we did want to try to start a private club, what would the first step be?
  3. Oh, and for those of you that answered previously, thank you. I'm just trying to get some answers on how to do this and not get nailed for something. We do have our children to think about and want to have little risk as possible.
  4. Thank you all for responding. I think I need to clarify myself a little bit. Most of our family already knows our lifestyle. Most of our friends are in the lifestyle. I had been selling Pure Romance sex toys etc for years and had been taking the profit from that to be able to enjoy the lifestyle and have smaller house parties. I am no longer selling those toys because they are getting too costly for me to purchase when you can buy the same thing elsewhere for just about my cost. So now what we would like to have is our costs covered and are trying to figure out a way to do that. At some of the larger hotel parties that we have been to in MI (that are full of "tourists", gawkers, and cliques, btw) they require you to fill out paperwork with your name on it, address, DOB, DL, etc. and they also require a copy of your DL. Even some house parties that we have been to that are now not around required a DL copy. As far as not being able to party, we don't want to do that and give the opportunity to be busted for "prostitution" in any way. We see it as an interview of sorts. We get to socialize with many people and then if a couple sparks our interest, then we can invite them over for a "date" at a later time. And as far as setting up and clean up - how does it take days? Unless you have completely rude friends that trash your house how is that possible? Many of our friends stay and help clean up and just about all of them clean up as they go (i.e. not leaving cups, plates, condoms, dirty towels, etc. all over the place). I do know how difficult it is to run a party. It is time consuming - set up, take down, returning calls, returning emails, etc. - but not any more than we would spend on crappy sites like AFF where you try to hook up with new friends that are only interested in chatting or aren't even real people, paying the expensive site fees, etc. I also know how difficult it is running *ANY* business in America nowadays. But you're all forgetting one important thing: to some people, and to most, it is about relationships and friends help friends out. My husband is in the construction trade and has gotten A LOT of work through lifestylers we have met. So we use this time spent to make new friends and get lots of work out of it for our "vanilla life". Time spent for parties is nothing compared to advertising in a bad work economy. So for my husband, he'd rather work at our parties than go door to door and give estimate after estimate that doesn't result in any work. We have tried talking to lifestyle friendly attorneys about this and we get "don't waste your time" and "you won't make any money at this, so why bother". We found out in the process that these attorneys also represent the BIG clubs in MI. Hmmm. We just want to provide a place that you don't have to drive 1-2 hours to a club where the people are in cliques, are not really into the lifestyle, etc. We miss our regular club that closed because the owner was dying of cancer. We haven't found many house parties that meet our needs. Not parties that require you to be young and Ken and Barbie. So we want to provide that. So - what sort of REAL advice can anybody give me besides "seems like you're trying to make money"? What we really want to do is make new friends and connections, but not have to pay for it all out of our pocket. If it means we have to open a private club, then how do we do that?
  5. I'm so glad I found this board! I never knew it existed! We used to host private house parties several years ago before we had kids. It was just a few couples and very informal. Now that the kids are older and not as dependent on us, we can have them do sleepovers at Auntie's house or Gramma and Grampa's house. We would like to host larger scale house parties. I've read with interest (and doom) about the issues of undercovers coming in, the media, crappy neighbors, etc. About the issue of having to pay taxes on a business, create a private club, etc. This is what we want to do in particular. Let me say up front that we do not plan on participating in the play. We want to have parties for 15-20 couples max. We want food costs covered, supplies covered (plates, cups, condoms, lube, sheets, towels, wipes, etc), maintenance fees covered (floor cleaning, laundry, etc.), and coming out a little above even would be wonderful. Hubby seems to think we would make a little more than a little over even, but I think otherwise. This is what we do not want to do - be a private club. What we have to offer is 20+ acres of secluded property (some neighbors are about 1-2 acres away with foliage coverage), an indoor hot tub, pool table, massage table, stand up arcade games, a bar (no liquor), soft drinks, water, coffee, tea, mixers, condoms, lube, wipes, towels, lots of clean sheets, lockers, two showers (one in bathroom and one at hot tub), fully furnished with wood floors and carpet, large screen TV with XXX movies, a possible spanking table, interesting furniture that is good for playing, an open room, a private room downstairs with two beds, and a very private room upstairs. And food - lots of food. Here is how we think things may go. People see our website on-line and make a purchase at our store (where we pay sales tax on the sale and they get an item). It would be condoms, toys, lube, movies, etc. They would have a "donation" price built in, but it wouldn't indicate that - it would just be a higher than normal price for an item. They would pay for it ahead of time (through PayPal which double checks identity, age, etc.) and we could ship the item out or they could pick it up. Purchase of said item (if "in stock" - if they are approved) would include an invitation to our "lifestyle social". The Social would be from 6-9 p.m. There would be food, socializing etc. much like an off-premise party. Then at 9 the "social" is over. If folks want to stay for party time, they can. If they meet somebody there they want to go elsewhere with or just want contact info etc. then they can leave. After people have left at 9, the doors will be locked and the "private party" party will begin. All attending either part will have to present their drivers license which we will copy and staple to a "survey" that asks basic info, getting to know you info, and "the fine print" stating that if you are cops/media/etc. that you are there on personal business, you're not offended by sex acts, nudity, etc. and hold us harmless, etc, and other legal jargon. Our thinking on this is that nobody is paying the day of the party. Nobody is paying a "donation". They are buying a tangible product and only possibly picking it up at the free, invite-only party. Thoughts???
